Initial analysis

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 695 9th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district is a 1916 structure currently owned by the Navarro Family Living Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $80,000, which brought the building into compliance with modern seismic safety standards. Past maintenance work includes reroofing in 1992 and stucco repairs in 1989. The property experienced a significant plumbing issue in 2014 when water damage occurred due to leaking from an upper unit (apartment 4) affecting the ceiling of a lower unit (apartment 2), though this was promptly addressed within approximately one month.

The building has a history of violations and maintenance issues that were primarily addressed in 2002, when several fire safety and security violations were cited and subsequently abated by July 15 of that year, including concerns about combustible storage, exterior door self-closing devices, window sash cords, security viewers, egress obstructions, gas meter instructions, and fire escape maintenance. There was also a hazardous plumbing violation documented in 2014, though the details and final resolution are less clear. The property has undergone regular inspections, including a fire escape inspection in 2006 and routine housing inspections. Recent records from 2022-2024 show multiple instances of garbage and debris issues on the property and nearby sidewalk, along with some parking enforcement actions, though these are typical for urban environments and not necessarily indicative of building-specific problems. A building fire incident was recorded, classified as equipment or heat source-related, but notably resulted in no civilian injuries. The building's soft-story retrofit has been completed and certified, reflecting the owner's commitment to structural safety improvements.

Risk rating

How 695 9Th Ave's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
